So glad to have stumbled upon this gem of a hotel during our first visit to Chapel Hill! According to my girlfriend who was born and raised in Raleigh, this hotel has been around for a long time, with an outstanding reputation for its fine dining restaurant on site. While we didn't have the opportunity to eat at the restaurant, we loved the beautiful room we booked, how soundly we slept, and the fun special amenities like a welcome glass of Prosecco or water, freshly baked cookies in the afternoon, AND--the free hotel shuttle service that takes you to and from within a 5 mile vicinity of the hotel. Huge shout-out to the two shuttle drivers I interacted with during the day--Shamael and the evening--Beau. Both were kind and hospitable as well as safe drivers and incredibly efficient! Definitely book your departing shuttle as soon as you know your schedule, and call about 10 minutes before you want to leave your venue. Both Shamael and Beau are incredibly knowledgeable about the area, and will give you the "real scoop" on neighborhoods or restaurants that you are thinking about visiting. Shamael saved our group one night by recommending a different neighborhood, and it ended up being an area we hung out at multiple evenings! Conversely, Beau was able to back-up our restaurant picks in the evening when he would drop us off for dinner. He had great knowledge of the area, chefs, restaurant owners, etc. The first night, we had after-dinner cocktails at the bar with Josh--great bartender who made our cocktails perfectly! We met a local at the bar who lives around the corner who gave us great recommendations around town--super friendly and awesome conversation, too! Also big shout out to Luis who was the late night bartender on Friday--even though he was closed for the evening he was willing to pour three rounds of shots for our group which was a perfect night cap to a fun night on the town. We also loved meeting Randy and Hannah at the Front Desk Friday night (and Randy again on Saturday night!)--they definitely embraced our late night silliness and provided the continued warmth and hospitality that you would hope for in a Southern hotel and Bonvoy property. We shared in some laughs and were delighted to see Randy again upon return home Saturday evening. I didn't catch the team's names who work during the day behind the desk, but the ladies and gentleman I interacted with were all incredible and hospitable--always willing to answer any question and also provide some additional plastic bags to carry our items in the pouring rain on our way to a party. (Hot tip: Shamael shared with us that if the weather forecast says even 1% of rain that it WILL rain and it will often rain 1-2 hours prior to the scheduled forecast...we tested this theory Saturday evening after he shared that with us--and it was correct!). So...definitely bring that umbrella and rain jacket if you are even on the fence about it! Thank you again to the entire team at the Siena Hotel for helping to make our first visit to Chapel Hill so special and memorable. We look forward to visiting again soon--your hotel was truly a wonderful home away from home!

“I found this hotel and staff excellent. The service here was over the chats amazing from the front desk/incredible”

The service was over the top,extremely accommodating. The front desk to cleaning service. They go beyond to help any customer. Thanks to for the amazing service. The location was perfect I like to walk and felt safe. Restaurant and stores are convenient.

“Great Stay”

Very clean property with plenty of parking. The staff are professional and personable. Breakfast was wonderful at a reasonable price. Rooms were clean, and the beds were comfortable. They have an agreement with the local Y in case you need a larger gym or pool. We would stay here again.

“Great hotel experience”

My parent stayed at this hotel 30 years ago to see my graduate from UNC. Go Heels!!! I have been to the hotel to eat Italian food. The food was really good. I went ahead and booked there. Alysha checked me in and got a free upgrade. I stayed on the junior suite. I was able to sleep very well… more

My parent stayed at this hotel 30 years ago to see my graduate from UNC. Go Heels!!! I have been to the hotel to eat Italian food. The food was really good. I went ahead and booked there. Alysha checked me in and got a free upgrade. I stayed on the junior suite. I was able to sleep very well. Some people may find the ventilator noise annoying. I didn't. There is free parking and in-room safe. It is not far to take the free bus into Chapel Hill. Prices are more reasonable in the summer than in the other seasons. Can you guess why? Would recommend staying here.
